Rereader here. Since he can buy anything other than foodstuff now... I'm thinking he can buy recipe books as well, & all-purpose tools & more. He's a 'slow-cooking' hero but a lot more wholesome & has an all-encompassing ability, & suited to be as Support (who sits at the very back or behind-the-scene) rather than Offense or Defense, don't you think? He also did a great job analysing the first kingdom as manipulative & escaped while he was still vulnerable.
Can't wait to read more. Questions questions questions. Wonder wonder wonder.
